The study of English is central to a liberal arts education. The
English Department at Western Connecticut State University is dedicated
to providing students with a high-quality education in English language
and literature. Our curriculum is designed to stimulate student
curiosity and to reward critical engagement.

Our academic programs prepare students to enter fields where
knowledge of texts, historical contexts, written and oral communication,
and the powers of analysis and critical thinking are vital. While many
of our students find themselves well-prepared to teach English in
elementary and secondary schools and to pursue graduate study in
English, the English major will help prepare students for success in any
field, such as law, publishing, marketing, and advertising. English is
indeed
the degree for life.
